Oooooh, it IS wonderfull!
My granny used to make both versions (shes originally from Ukraine), I like the one without meat in it. It can still be cooked with beef & bones, and both of them actually taste better when hot (don't enjoy cold soups much).
I'd take out the kimmel too, don't like the flavor.
What I do like (and is done traditionally) is eating it with fresh cloves of garlic (beside the country bread). Sour cream is used too, but I don't like that either
